Policy Description

Advantages

Disadvantages

Full to Full

There will be a full tank of gas when you pick up your car. You can use as much fuel as you like and top it off when you return your car. If you refill the tank before you return your car, you won't be charged a refueling cost

You only pay for the fuel you use. If you only use half of a tank, it's only necessary refill half of a tank, and therefore avoid paying for any you don't need. You can fill up at any station you want and you'll only pay service charges if you don't refill the tank

Full to empty (pre-paid)

You pay for a full tank when you pick the car up and bring the car back with the tank empty. Some providers provide a refund for any unused fuel. Be sure to confirm with them beforehand

You won't have to search for a gas station before you return your car

The supplier usually charges a higher rate for the fuel than a local gas station

Empty to empty

You may not have a full tank when you collect the vehicle, and you don't have to fill the tank back up when you bring the car back

You refill your tank yourself, so you can shop around for the cheapest local prices

You'll need to find a gas station as soon as you collect the car

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

We usually suggest that you choose the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited miles is a good option if you plan to do some sightseeing or visit several clients all over Dover. You can drive wherever you like without incurring extra charges. Read over your rental agreement to see if there are mileage limitations.

Tips before you leave the lot

Before you begin on your Dover trip, be sure you go over a few items before you leave the rental lot. You should:

Check the trunk to see if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there

Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
